"It is a treat to have a younger singer carrying on the in the tradition of Mose Allison, Frishberg and Dorough, cats who write distinctive tunes, and know how to perform them better than anyone else." Joe Lang- Jersey Jazz
"Wink Gets It Right! I mean, from the opening, title song, you know he’s on. But don’t give up – there is a gamut to be run. I’d play the whole CD if I were you. With a little help from his friends, Mark comes up with twelve good ones. Great singing, too". - Bob Dorough

“Winkler lays it out so pretty, so smooth...witty and straight no matter what! Buy this record, write Mark a letter of thanks, pour another drink... and play it again and again.”- Mark Murphy
“Winkler’s In a Lonely Place is a reminder that classic, American songbook type tunes are still being written.” - Don Heckman, LA Times
“If Till I Get It Right, the title of Mark Winkler’s first disc since the wonderful Sings Bobby Troup and first U.S. released set of originals since Easy The Hard Way, is something of a question, its answer is an emphatic: Get it right? How about perfect! Always sly and cool yet passionate as a vocalist, his wonderfully compelling, distinctively vivid lyrics tell tales that are clever and witty one minute, lovelorn and heartbreaking the next. Working with a wide range of musical collaborators, from Eli Brueggemann and Marilyn Harris to Joshua Redman, Mike Melvoin and Dan Siegel, Winkler explores his love of jazz deeply but delves with equal joy into pop, blues and Brazilian territory. Till I Get It Right does just that, adding another magical destination in the Wonderful World of Winkler". – Jonathan Widran
